Nordic noir thriller directed by Mikkel Nørgaard and starring
Nikolaj Lie Kaas and Fares Fares. Reassigned to Department Q after
an accident leaves his partner dead, Carl (Kaas) now spends his
time trawling through old, unsolved cases. Accompanied by his new
assistant Assad (Fares), Carl begins to obsess over a high-profile
case where a young female politician disappeared while travelling
onboard a ferry. The only apparent lead in the disappearance and
apparent suicide is the girl's younger brother who suffers from
brain damage. Carl, while acting against the orders of his
superiors, tries his hardest to dig deeper and find some answers
however, the more he learns, the more he realises that some things
are best left hidden...
A friend calls it "brain candy." It is; humor, romance, whimsy and
pretty much everything else. It is the intersection of life and
art. It is a collection of more than 100 poems whose purpose (if
they have one) is to let you know that someone understands, provoke
laughter, or thought; or feel and see through someone else's eyes.
They have been described as "a sweet slice of life." Whose end
result is "I feel smoothed by this."
This compilation of stories was written alternatively and
chronologically by a couple who lived on three continents in the
decade between 1956 and 1966. Eric Ericson writes of his search for
oil in the jungles of Bolivia during communist agitation, the
Basque mountains of northern Spain under the dictatorship of
Generalissimo Franco, and Nigeria at the dawn of Nigerian
Independence and prior to the Biafran War. Gulf Oil's Okan I was
the first off-shore discovery in Nigeria and produced one billion
barrels of oil by the year 2000. Libby Ericson tells of raising
their two sons, and giving birth to their third, in difficult and
challenging places and situations, and of the generosity and
kindness always found in these very different cultures. Eric
retired from Gulf Oil in 1981, began his own consulting business in
Boulder, Colorado, and continues his keen interest in the oil and
gas industry. They moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1995 where
Libby pursues her love of art. They spend their summers in the
Colorado Rockies near where they met at the University of Colorado.
